Chiesa Maria SS. Assunta - Matrice Vecchia

The church was dedicated to Holy Mary of the Assumption and its construction dates back to the middle of the fourteenth century. The Matrice Vecchia displays a majestic Polyptych on the high altar, attributed to Antonio De Saliba, the nephew of Antonello da Messina. The work depicts the Virgin Mary with the Eternal Father holding up the world above. The painting shows a Patriarch with glasses, which makes it particular and rare in the sacral context. Then, under the feet of the faithful there is a crypt containing in turn a marble ciborium, made by Giorgio da Milano. Then, a niche includes the statue of Santa Maria degli Angeli, placed in the structure around 1520 and made by Antonello Gagini.

Castelbuono

Walking tour on the main street from the Castle to Piazza Margherita where you can admire the shops that sell the Manna. The specialty has been the principal source of the town income since the 18th century. Manna is a natural sugar that comes from a special ash tree called fraxinus ornus. Manna takes the form of a whitish stalactite that manages to be vaguely sweet. It drips from the ash trees in Castelbuono and the nearby town of Pollina. The sap is extracted by making a cut in the bark and on both stems and branches.
